A staff member requested three specialized gear dryers—one to be placed at each station—to reduce turnout-gear drying time and return firefighters' primary sets to service more quickly. The speaker said the department currently air dries gear in the bays, which can take two to three days; each firefighter has two sets of gear, and the dryers would help the primary set be available sooner, "keeping our firefighters safe when seconds count."
